A distributed control system for a vehicle includes a configuration controller and at least three nodes communicatively coupled to the configuration controller. Each of the at least three nodes includes a memory device for storing local data and portions of shared data of the distributed control system. Further, portions of the shared data are dissimilarly copied across the at least three nodes using dissimilar methods. More specifically, the dissimilar methods include at least one of striping the shared data amongst the at least three nodes, storing parity information of the shared data amongst at least one of the at least three nodes, storing unique identification or signatory information of the shared data amongst at least one of the at least three nodes, storing subsets of the shared data amongst the at least three nodes, and/or storing exact copies of the shared data amongst at least one of the at least three nodes so as to increase redundancy of the shared data.
